The Official Sig/Avatar Request Thread

Seriously, if you put a sig up and it's not 40KB or less, I will remove it. It can't be 60KB, it can't be 43KB, it can't be 40.25KB. It has to be 40KB or less. And If I have to keep removing sigs, that person will get a warning. So if someone is creating a sig for you, you better be sure it falls within the guidelines prior top adding it, that is YOUR responsibility. Otherwise, you are going to be the one getting the warning.

Sorry about all of this. I just go by what my sig creator gives me. I have zero clue how to make it under 40KB.

Frank, I noticed the one you just loaded has some dithering effects around the bullets. If you use the gif I loaded, it doesn't have that. Either is fine though, as the one you have now fits within the limits.

Is there somewhere that explains how the limits were determined? I'd like to understand the limitations and how they were set. Was it an arbitrary estimation?

The limits were set by the owner and creator of the site. 40kb has been and will continue to be our standard across pretty much all of our network sites. The dimensions were set based on the forum layout we use and how much of the screen we determined should be taken up by sigs.
